The Police Department is launching an operation to make it easy to hand weapons over to the State from March 25 to April 5, 2024.

Often forgotten or stored improperly, the Government of Monaco points out that these weapons present a risk of accidents in the home, particularly to children. Also, if stolen during a break-in, they can then be used for criminal activities.
The operation is modelled on a scheme carried out in France at the end of 2022. In total, the French authorities collected nearly 150,000 undeclared weapons.
Handing in your weapons will contribute to public safety in the Principality.
